3 Rounds And A Sound

We Are The Tide

Blind Pilot is an American indie folk band based in Portland, Oregon.  The band has performed on Carson Daly's show, has opened arena shows in England, has been selected as iTunes' Single of the Week. After a busy summer that included the Lollapalooza, Sasquatch!, and Outside Lands festivals and a high-profile slot opening for fellow Portlanders the Decemberists on select dates, Blind Pilot is embarking on a national headlining tour to support their magnanimous debut, 3 Rounds and a Sound, released last year on Expunged Records.

hitting in your bones like they were forts

If you hear what I hear

on this most unlikely court

just in case

don't move a single second
         C                 C               D           D
until the shade behind your thoughts is not confused
                G
cause I felt your itch
          Em
I know the scent as well as any

# Break Part 2
             C
clotting your garden
            C
of paints or pollen

brick in your mortar
         D
petals to soak in
      C
on the cracks
          C
thicker or finer
            D
milk in your water
             D
black in your primer

wood in your brush

whatever you want

Can you see the lights?

Can you hear the hum?

C
Of our song
Am
I hope they get it right
G
I hope we dance tonight
F
Before we, get it wrong

C
And the seasons
Will change us new

I could not be stuck on you
F
If it were true

C Am G F

C
I was swimming
My eyes were dark
        Am
Til you woke me
And told me that opening
G
is just the start
F
it was

C
Now I see you, til kingdom come
Am
You're the one I want

To see me for all the stupid shit I've done

C
Soil and six feet under
Am
Killed just like we were
G
Before you knew you'd know me
F
And you know me

C
Blooming up from the ground
Am
3 Rounds and a sound
G
Like whispering you know me
F
And you know me


So this was our song
This was our song
I still see the lights
I can see them

And the criss cross
Of what is true, won't get to us
Cause you know me
I could not give up on you

And the fog of what is right
Won't cover us cause you know me
I could not give up a fight

Soil and six feet under
Killed just as we were
Before you knew you'd know me
and you know me

Blooming up from the ground
Three rounds an a sound
Whispering that you'd know me
and you know me

I buried a bone
Bb     C               Dm
And darling you don't know him

 Darling you don't know

 Bb    C      Dm
 Might be the right place

 But you don't know

Well look me in the head

 I've got nothing on my mind

 I've been waiting for you
          C
 All this time

 F                   Bb   C     Dm
 And I'd seen a path turn to an old road
 Bb      C        F
 But the secret's too slow
 Bb  C         F
 And we're too fast
 
Bb
Look me in the mouth
          C             F
 I've got nothing in my smile

 I've been waiting for you

 You're just my style

Look me in the gut
          C                F
 I've got fear from my own name

 I'd dig it up for you

 If you'd do the same

I buried a bone

# Chorus: C G C G D C Em Esus4

            C                       G
oh from the first that the line got drawn
       C                         G 
it was poison in the land it was on
        Em                             G
one red thread through the middle of a song
        C            Em Esus4 Em Esus4 Em Esus4 Em
my only one, my only one

I can't remember the age that i was
but not that story that pumped in my blood
when you were the savior
and I was the taker of oh where i was

       C                              G
oh but man oh man you can do what you want

the only line that is true is the line you're from

I have to say there was a mile or two
I had the itch to fly and i flew
now at best we would make our dreams 
with something used with something used

and from the minute that the line got drawn
I couldn't see straight to you for nothing
now me, I'm the poison in one
yah I'm the one I am the...

oh but man oh man you can do what you want
oh man oh man you can do what you want
the only line that is true is the line that you're...

oh man oh man you can do what you want
oh man oh man you can do what you want
the only line that is true is the line you're from
the only line that is true is the line you're from

# Intro
C  E  Fmaj7  G  C

# Verse 1
C                                     E
The thrill here is quicker than you'd think
                                F
The way some jet-lagged bar kept pouring the wine
                          C                    G
From over their heads then sit back down again
C                               E
Four times is once too much for luck
                             F        
And that's how many times the clock struck
C                            G                          A7sus4  C   A7sus4
I wandered home, saying your name

# Verse 2
C                                            E
The arches here were built 'cause they don't fall
                               F
The cathedrals to make you feel small
         C               G
You might find your small soul
C                               E
Leave the preaching to the president
(E)
The crowd cheers, his eyes get wet
   F                              
I'm full as it is, I'm full as it is
C                G
So don't feed me more

# Chorus 1
E                   F                   C
You'll be having my head, big as a birthday
      E             F                C      G
'Cause I left all my doubts on the airplane
A7sus4                           C         G
I didn't know, I didn't know I'm not in control
A7sus4                        C
I didn't know, I'm not invincible

# Interlude
C  E  Fmaj7  G  C

# Verse 3
C                                       E
And maybe some things are better left unsaid
                               F                        C        G
But if you wanted to test that, I will, yeah, I guess, I could've said
C                                      E 
But there were nights in bars that I recall
                                  F
Your breath was courage laced with alcohol
          C       G
You leaned in, you said, 

# Chorus 2
E                    F            C
"Make music with the chatter in here,
E                   F             C   G
And whisper all the notes in my ears."
A*                               C         G
I didn't know, I didn't know the way of my tongue
A*                                    
I didn't know, I didn't know what I'd done

# Break 
C       A7sus4  F       C
A7sus4  C   F   A7sus4  C

# Verse 4
C                                     E
The lights here are softer than you'd think
                           F
The dim lit peacocks in the trees,
                                   C            G
They're hiding their eyes and their beauty, like me
C                         E 
But if my eyes were on my back
                          F
I know what I'd be looking at
                      C         G
Through every shade of brown and green

# Outro
A*                              C           G
I didn't know, I didn't know it was nothing new
A*                                  C
I didn't know, I didn't know it was you

I walked a year to hear a howl in this give and take,

Oh man we won't last long but we're giving it our best try,

Don't you know you're alive, you know you're alive,

    G                                               C
Feel the push and pull, hoping that it doesn't mean much.
              D                 C
Oh what do you see, what do you see,


(Chorus)
         G                                              C
And everybody on the street is singing like it's Sunday,
       G                                 C
So we keep inside and you look steady at me.

     G                                                      C
And we don't know what left, but we feel it's coming back soon,
        G                                                 C
So we're standing in the street staring at a blood red moon,

We are the tide, we are the tide,

E D                 A
ooh you're overreacting

(you can change your mind)
E D                A
ooh you're overreacting

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
